Suelta del Perro Maldito

The "Suelta del Perro Maldito" in Valsequillo is a unique festivity. This event revives an ancient Canarian tradition symbolizing the battle between Good and Evil, with the "Perro Maldito" representing the devil. During the celebration, a dialogue between a good angel and an evil angel precedes the appearance of the "Perro Maldito," a large red dog with horns that roams the streets cursing. The locals invoke to subdue the dog, culminating in the triumph of Good and the restoration of order, making this event a key tradition in the Archipelago.
